Warning: footage is horrific but we must not look away or be distracted
With the world’s attention on the US and Israeli attacks on Iran and Iran’s successful retaliation, Israel continues – even as its politicians complain that their cities are being hit by Iranian missiles that actually target military installations – to bomb, burn, maim and murder innocent children in Gaza.
Below are just a few instances of dozens on Sunday that targeted children and families in tents, homes and in the open:
A young child in panic and terrible pain after being bombed by Israel in his family’s tent in a supposed ‘safe zone’ al-Mawasi, Gaza.
The displaced families’ tents were near Al-Qubba Mosque in Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis (video: @mahmoudbassam8)
Several children arrived wounded at what’s left of Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza after an airstrike on the Abu Al-Nadi family home. (Video by @amer_elsultan)

“Eight-year-old Nour Awad speaks through tears, calling out for her mother and brother Ahmad after an Israeli occupation missile struck their tent in Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis while they sat down for lunch. “We were eating when a missile hit us… my mother screamed, ‘My children! My children!’” she says. Injured and disoriented, she fled into the street, begging for help until a boy carried her to safety. Despite the brutality of the attack, both her mother and brother survived. Nasser Hospital is overwhelmed, its corridors packed with the bereaved and the wounded, another scene from Gaza’s so-called “safe zones” turned into mass casualty sites.” – @samer.alboji.

And those children who escape the bombs and bullets are still being starved by Israel’s starvation blockade – or shot if they or their parents venture near an Israeli so-called ‘aid station’. A report from Gaza’s Civil Defence on Sunday noted the “large number of injuries” they were dealing with after a massacre near an ‘aid station’:
We are dealing with a large number of injuries in the field after committing a massacre against citizens who are waiting for humanitarian aid on the sea street north of Gaza – Gaza’s Civil Defence.
Israel is a terror state. The UK government is aiding the terror state while branding people in Britain who resist Israel’s genocide as terrorists.

Exposure to white phosphorous (P4) causes a much more painful and debilitating death than Zyklon B ever did to the 1.1 million people who were subjected to it in extermination camps like Auschwitz-Birkenau and Majdanek.
The poor, horribly burnt child in the TikTok clip will simply have breathed less the .25 (POINT 25) parts per million of the toxic chemical. Others, maybe his mother or father, who breathed over 18 parts per million will have suffered instant death.
Maybe one day the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem will exhibit galleries of interactive historical displays to show what vile monsters the people were who hijacked Israel in the name of Zionism.
Any RATIONAL decision on holocaust museums/memorials would see them REQUIRED to show evidence from ALL genocides, not just the Germans v Jews one (it was not confined to Jews, but that appears to be whitewashed across the media). The current genocide in Palestine should feature front and centre at the moment in all such places because it is current and therefore, we could do something about it (except our politicians are on the wrong side of history, again).
For once, the Guardian published an excellent article on the events in the ME..

Better still, this video discusses MSM complicity in atrocities and the obsession with backing Israel, come what may….
The Tadhg Hickey youtube report is wonderful. Knowing that some (even if it’s 1 in 500) people in Britain think like him is bloody good for my mental health! Edifying and informative, thanks winteringham.
